Neil says
"2023 has been an interesting year, so far. I made my final album with Dennis in February following the release of our album 'Testify'. I received fantastic support from the blues community and in particular from many radio stations around the world that aired my music. The album received a great review in the April / May edition of the Blues Matters magazine. A copy of the write-up is here for you to read - if you are a fan of the blues then check-out this prestigious and influential publication."
"Over the years, I have performed and recorded many songs across many music genres and this has led to me being played on rock, rock 'n' roll and folk radio stations, too. For several months, I was aired 2/3 times a day on one radio station or another, which was fun. This has inspired me to put a collection of folk tracks together for an album. For those that like to follow my music this may be of interest to you. I have an album of Robert Johnson songs coming out, too. This is the second half of a project that I began when writing and performing with the band Blue Touch. I am immensely excited to be putting out my first Neil Sadler album.
Neil says
"A song that I co-wrote with Malaya Blue has been listed for consideration of a Grammy Award! I am really grateful to Steve Yourglivch and Malaya Blue for giving me this opportunity to be involved in a small way."
"My band and I have been testing the water in our local area resulting in great reviews. We look forward to performing some new songs - some of which are from my forthcoming album, which is currently untitled - news relating to this will be released sometime soon."
